Photography by Stefanie Menera

Stefanie Menera is a junior SBS major with a concentration in Social History. “I’ve been doing photography for about four years, and mostly focus on portraits and still life.” Originally from the Central Valley, she says moving to Monterey has gotten her more interested in landscapes recently. “These photos were all taken during my first semester at CSUMB while exploring all of the gorgeous coastal sights there are in the area. Shot on iPhone is one of my favorites because there were so many people out on the beach with their phones that day. I thought it was funny to see the beach looking so beautiful and natural, yet there were more iPhones than sea shells on the shore that day, (ironically, I too was out on the beach with a large camera held to my eye).”
